History Fridge / OsmosisJones

* If every cell in your body is alive and sentient, minor injuries in the world of Osmosis Jones become horrifying. Not to mention the fate of the poor blood cells carried off by mosquitoes and other biting bugs...

* Thrax claims that, once he breaks his record by killing Frank in two days, he plans to go after Shane and kill her in one day. We see from her initial reaction when Frank flatlines that Shane would not be taking Frank's death well at all. Considering grief can weaken the immune system(which, in the context of the movie, could have been represented as the police becoming increasingly apathetic according to Shane's ongoing mood), Shane would have been a very easy target if Thrax attacked straight away.

There are over ''twenty beads'' in that chain. Now, figure in that Thrax killing the human also kills every single cell inside them -- which are established as sentient in this universe -- and that factors into possibly one of the highest body counts of an animated villain period.

** There is another more grim explanation for Frank's declining health. Frank's internal temperature nearly reached 108 during the events of the film, which is deadly. However, if one's internal temperature reaches 104, which Frank's surpassed, that can result in permanent brain damage. This puts a dark contrast on the situation; Frank tried to get healthy but resulting brain damage from his brush with death meant he kept forgetting (from the anthropmorphised cell POV, the brain cell in charge of memory could've been killed and the records or information cataloguing system destroyed) to maintain his new healthy lifestyle or he just discarded the attempts.

* According to {{The Other Wiki}}, bacillus anthracis is a soil-borne bacteria that can be contracted via ingestion and causes death by invoking cold or flu-like symptoms, such as, say, a fever. Bacillus anthracis. Otherwise known as an'''thrax'''. What's even more disturbing? How anthrax was even exposed to the monkey cage at the zoo in the first placed, and how many cases of Thrax are now just waiting to happen...

** Probably but cells don't live too long (except for brain cells) so it'ss more like the end of the world after many,many generations. The more dramatic case would be the death of an infant causing a newly formed world to expire too soon.

** Not really. Viruses in the Real World evolve for two things: to make more of themselves and spread to other hosts. A virus that quickly killed its host would severely hamper its own spread (see: Ebola).

* Because of AesopAmnesia, in ''OzzyAndDrix'', Frank for some reason starts becoming unhealthy again, and both Ozzy and Drix are carried away by a mosquito to someone else...** Considering Shane is absent and Ozzy talks about getting promoted out of "snot patrol"(when he should have something much higher after the events of the movie), it's possible this is an alternate universe.

** On that note, are ''all'' the potential Thraxes out there [[AlwaysChaoticEvil just as depraved and evil as he is?]] Are some of them {{Reluctant Psycho}}s who don't want to hurt anyone but know they have to in order to survive (since that's basically how viruses work)? Either way, it's not a pleasant thought...
